this isn’t my or Karen’s bird, but a friend of mines. She likes in scottland and has a peach face lovebird. Yesterday, he flew into a glue trap. She poured oil over him in a panic. He wasn’t hand tame, but he suddenly started stepping up and letting her hold him. She kept him in a dark place overnight, but since he was looking better (despite his oily feathers) she tried to wash him with dish soap in the shower, brushing his feathers with a soapy toothbrush and rinsing him with the shower. She returned him to his cage, in the sun where he’d hopefully dry.
A few minutes ago, she found him, bright eyed but with clenched feet and barely moving. She called the vet and they told her that he wouldn’t survive the trip and to keep him comfortable and hope he pull some through.
I urged her to post here. She doesn’t know how to use forums and has asked me to help. Again, not my bird. I will send her the link to this page but will have to respond for her.
